Bob Cole Conservatory of Music

Location

California State University Long Beach is located a half hour from Los Angeles and Hollywood—the homes of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Hollywood Bowl, REDCAT, Nokia Theatre L.A Live, the House of Blues, and many historical jazz clubs. A few miles south of campus is the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, and many other music venues.

The city of Long Beach also has an active year-round jazz scene, featuring numerous all-day-festivals, club caravans, and special artist appearances. The Bob Cole Conservatory of Music is located on the northeast corner of the CSULB campus, adjacent to the Carpenter Performing Arts Center, Martha B. Knoebel Dance Complex, and the Walter Pyramid.

CSULB is also the home of KJZZ, 88.1 F.M., the #1 jazz station in the country.
